[MPWG] The Sting and the Power.

[Ivor Hughes]

There will always be a conflict of interest between the Shaman and the 
Scientist. They have different world views.

There will always be a conflict of interest between the rulers and the 
ruled. They inhabit different universes.

There will always be a conflict of interest between education and 
legislation because that is the measure of medieval real politk. 
Coercion (we know best) by legislation and the subsequent instruments of 
oppression which are rolled out every time.

The people have maintained the fertility of the planet for untold 
millenia. Yet they are the ones that are scapegoated for the current 
state of affairs. They are the ones that must bear the burden of all of 
the big business self interest legislation which is passed. They are the 
ones that must bear the burden of scientific decisions, eg the big 
vitamin rip off .

What its all about is money .... well in the not too distant future it 
will all be academic. The childrens play game of musical chairs  is 
about to be played out a higher level .... this one is called 
disappearing biomes, as all the plants change places, and some fall off 
the edge, dragging sizable chunks of the human population with it. Think 
of the cyclone damage wrought on Nuie. 

The Amazon rain forest is falling at the rate of  many acres an hour 
.... it is a prime global climate trigger. Perhaps every man woman and 
child needs to get out into their own locality and plant a tree.  
Education not legislation.

The real reason for the pressure on individual medicinal plants is a 
collapsing synthetic medicine market. Informed medical consumers are 
exercising their right to health freedom. This is reflected in the 
science and big business legislation which is passed by that unsavory 
alliance.  This is the power of sting ....

As it has been pointed out in this forum .... sting money could be 
better spent elsewhere.

I am reminded of a classic piece of research by a man called Stanley 
Milgram ... the pop science book was called 'Obedience to Authority 
..... most alarming .... otherwise sane and rational people willing to 
torture their fellow citizens at the behest of a man in a white coat  ...

Perhaps there is something seriously skewed in the heads of the 
legislation wallahs ?  So what about some Conservation and Cooperation   
...  http://www.herbdatanz.com/sia1_conservation_and_cooperation.htm

During Great Britains darkest days in World War 2, Winston Churchill, 
spoke to the American People .... " Give us the tools and we will do the 
job ! "  Nothing has changed .... the people are waiting for sensible 
and coordinated policies.  Unlock the power of the people .... as the 
IChing says .... the people are like ground water, always ready to draw 
upon in times of crisis.

Willing cooperation in common cause ... not self interest legislation 
for the benefit of a few.
